"Old lady, what did my daughter say?" Father Lu asked hurriedly when he saw Mother Lu coming in.

"My daughter said someone came to pick her up, so she went back." Seeing that the old man wanted to ask something, Mother Lu said impatiently: "Eat, sleep after eating, work all day, and you're not tired?"

Seeing her like this, Father Lu swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth, lowered his head, picked up the bowl, and started eating with big mouthfuls.

So they finished their meal quietly, cleaned up and went back to their rooms to rest.

Everyone here was sleeping quietly, but on the other side, Lin Dacui was very angry when she returned home. She started throwing things around after entering the house.

"What's wrong with you? Did you get bullied by your in-laws?" Old man Gu was squatting at the door, puffing on his pipe. When he saw the old woman like this, he asked in confusion.

"Your good daughter-in-law is still here. Why do you say that she should be kept at her parents' home? She will come back to see us when she gets better. Ugh. Pah." Lin Dacui said with a pout and spit.

"This is normal. The fourth son's wife is not feeling well, so she should stay at her parents' home to recover. This way, you don't have to serve her when you come back. Aren't you just asking for trouble?" Old Man Gu felt that what the fourth son's wife said made sense.

Even though she can't do anything, it's good enough that she has someone to serve her at her parents' home. But if she goes back to Gu's home, she can serve for two days, but if it takes too long, I guess the old woman will get angry first.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you still speaking in favor of the fourth son's wife? I'm telling you, after two days when the land is dry and the road is easy to travel on, I'll ask the eldest son to borrow a bullock cart to bring her back. I don't believe that she won't come back after I've come to pick her up in person." Lin Dacui thought that after she brought her back, she would be fine with torturing her, and her anger subsided. She sat on the stool and ate her meal happily.

When Old Man Gu saw the old woman like this, he knew what this person was thinking, so he shook his head helplessly and prepared to wait for the fourth son's wife to come back. He had to watch her carefully.

From his perspective, the temper of the fourth son's wife is not easy to handle. It's okay to negotiate with her a little when she just came back, but don't go too far. He still hopes that the fourth son will not only provide for them in their old age, but also help out a few others.

No one knew what the two elders of the Gu family were thinking. After waking up from a nap at Lu's house, Lu's mother got up and killed the hen brought by Lin Dacui. She did not go to work. She stewed the old hen for the whole morning and steamed a few white flour buns.

Only when the whole yard was filled with fragrance did he pick up a few pieces of meat, a bowl of chicken soup and two steamed buns for his two grandsons. He then skimmed out the oil from the pot and brought a small bowl of soup and meat into the house to give to Lu Qingyan.

"Mom, I've been smelling the fragrance all morning, and now I can finally taste it." Lu Qingyan said with a smile when she saw her mother coming in.

"You're the only one who's greedy. Come on and eat. I've skimmed off the oil on top. It's just right to eat it while it's still hot." Mother Lu reached out and tapped her daughter's forehead, handing her the bowl.

"Mom, you eat too." Lu Qingyan took the bowl and didn't eat it herself. She picked up a piece of meat and handed it to her.

"You eat it, Mom won't eat it." Mother Lu turned her head and hid.

"If you don't want to eat, I won't eat either." Seeing that her mother didn't want to eat, Lu Qingyan pretended to be angry and put the bowl aside.

"Eat, eat, can't I eat it?" Seeing that her daughter really didn't want to eat anymore, Mother Lu picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into her mouth, then picked up the bowl and passed it to her.

"Look, that's right. I can't eat much by myself, so you guys help me eat. Otherwise, leave it all to me. What if it gets spoiled? What a pity." Lu Qingyan took a sip of the soup, took a bite of the steamed bun that was full of wheat aroma, and said with a smile

"Got it. Eat quickly. If it's not enough, call me. I'm going to cook. Your father and the others will be back from work soon." After saying that, Mother Lu went out, scooped out the meat and soup from the pot, added water to the pot, poured the skimmed chicken fat into the pot, and mixed it with the grain flour.

When Mr. Lu and his colleagues came back from work, a pot of delicious chicken noodle soup was ready.

"There's not much meat on this chicken, so let's each have two pieces, and save the rest for your little sister for the next meal." Mother Lu put the basin on the table and brought out a small bowl of chicken.

"Mom, we just need noodles to eat. Let's save the chicken for my little sister." Chen Juan reached out and served each of them a bowl of noodles and then filled the bowl with soup before sitting down and pushing the chicken aside.

"No need. Your little sister can't eat all that by herself, so we can help her share some." Mother Lu didn't have to eat the two pieces of meat. She was afraid that her eldest daughter-in-law would be unhappy. So she served two pieces of meat. It was up to her whether she ate them or not.

But if you want to talk about this matter in the future, it won’t be possible.

"Then you guys eat." Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lu brought the bowl to the two elders and lowered her head to eat.

"Eat quickly, don't push me around." Mother Lu picked up two pieces of meat each and stopped talking. She lowered her head and started eating.

Chen Juan looked down at the chicken in the bowl and didn't give in. She took small bites of the meat. Although the meat didn't have much taste, she still felt happy when she put it in her mouth.

After all, it is very difficult to eat meat at this time. Now, thanks to my sister-in-law, I can eat meat again. I am very grateful to her.

In this way, two more days passed, the ground was dried by the sun, and the road was easier to walk on. One morning, someone from the Gu family came to pick up Lu Qingyan.

"My in-laws are at home. I saw that the road was easy to walk on, so I came to pick up the fourth son's wife." Lin Dacui walked into the yard, looked at Lu's mother in the yard and said with a smile.

"Oh, mother-in-law, you're here early. Have you eaten yet? I just finished cooking. Come in and have something to eat with us." Although Mother Lu was not happy when she saw Lin Dacui coming in, she still showed a warm welcome.

"No need, dear in-laws. I'll go pick up the fourth son's wife right away, otherwise I'll be late for work." Lin Dacui waved her hand and went straight to Lu Qingyan's room. She didn't even knock on the door, but pushed it open and walked in.

When he saw the person on the kang was still sleeping, his face turned strange and he shouted, "Fourth brother's wife, hurry up and get up. I'm here to take you home. Your eldest brother has to go to work soon."

"Oh, Mom, could you have told me before you came in? I was scared to death." Lu Qingyan was awakened by the shout. After seeing the person coming, she patted her chest and said unhappily

"Girl, are you okay? Are you scared? Is your stomach okay?" Seeing her daughter was scared at the door, Lu's mother ran in and hugged her, asking worriedly.

"Mother-in-law, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you've spoiled the fourth son's wife. Look at what time it is, and she hasn't gotten up from the kang yet. You're really shameless." Lin Dacui looked at Mother Lu's expression and said unhappily.

"Mom, this is my home. I can sleep as late as I want. Also, we have already separated. You have no right to control me no matter what I want to do." Lu Qingyan was startled but not angry. Obviously, she was really angry when her mother-in-law said that to her mother. She said with a frown:

"Looking at you like that now, I don't dare to go back. Now I don't agree to go back. If you are not satisfied with anything, please contact Gu Mingze and let him tell me."

“You, you…”

"Xiaoyan, how can you talk like that..."
